Greg Fitzsimmons and David Wild

Show Summary

Adam opens the show discussing Sonny & Natalia’s t-ball game. Adam shares his frustrations about Sonny not wearing his team hat, and complains about kids not being afraid of their parents anymore. He also rants about a commemorative award where his name was spelled wrong, and online comments that pissed him off. David Wild is also in studio, and talks with Adam about some songs you probably don’t know, but should.

Greg Fitzsimmons joins the podcast next, and the guys commiserate over how crappy LA is for getting a crowd to see your comedy show. They joke about performing in Colombia, and discuss the violence and prostitutes in the city. Greg and David also talk about a project they were working on together a while back, and Adam jumps in to reminisce over crappy producers.

In the last part of the show, the guys jump to the phones to take your relationship calls. Adam speaks with a caller who wants to know about abuse victims, and another who is considering getting into porn. They also talk with a caller dating a girl with three kids from three dads. As the show wraps up, Greg recalls almost getting into a fight in Mexico, and Adam discusses getting harassed in the Hollywood Hills.

Wow…this guy could be Adam’s least favourite person. Someone with the same name as the owner of that property also posted the following:
“WHY would you promote garden sound systems? As a Hollywood hills resident, I have to endure neighbors’ music at all hours. With the Hollywood Bowl effect, garden music from half a block away sounds like it is just outside my windows.

Even in the flatlands, imagine the cacophony if every house on the block had an outdoor sound system.

I used to enjoy Adam’s rants on how much radio music sucks, but then he had to go and ruin it by playing the generic, boring, instantly forgettable songs he does like. Now every time he starts talking about music, he sounds like a food critic who loves dodger dogs.

I totally agree with that. His music is so bland and unexciting. Some of the music he talks about being terrible is actually terrible but not all of it. His view of music doesn’t really go much further than his own interests and everyone else must be crazy and tasteless. It’s one of the few things I don’t like about this show any more.

His taste in music IS horrible! He is right about some bad music, like house and what not, but some things he doesn’t like are just wrong. But at least that’s still personal preference, not taste exactly. The Crap he actually plays on here is sooooo bad, yet he says once anyone hears it they will immediatly love it, they just need the chance to have him force it on them. He is so wrong. It is such bad music.

I agree with Adam 98.5% of the time…but his taste in music is not one of them. He is about the same age as the guys from Guns N Roses and they played all over Hollywood back in the day and I don’t recall him mentioning ever going to see them…very disappointing.

Gotta agree. I accidentally found myself at a John Hyatt concert a few years back (I thought he was opening for the Mississippi All-Stars; turns out it was the other way around) and Hyatt is just vanilla, safe, dentist-office background music that middle & upper class white folk dig. Not terrible, but just kinda blah…

“vanilla, safe, dentist-office background music that middle & upper class white folk dig.”- that is the most perfect description of Hyatt’s music! At my former place of work they would play this song of his where he sang the line: ‘you got kids-a, and-a I got kids” in the most geriatric way. It always made me chuckle.

I much prefer the drops to the live presence. She actually interrupts professional comedians (including Adam) to try and out-funny them! She should stick to doing the news and stay in the background the rest of the time.

I find it funny that there’s a picture of the Scion models to illustrate how someone misspelled something when the correct spelling was just a few inches away and then 3 pictures to the right is a marquee that spells “Spreckels” but is captioned “spreckles”. Same premise.

Agreeing with his point and sharing his tastes are two different things.
Thanks to technology, we don’t need to listen to that shit ever again.
Try this great station: http://kdhx.fm/betaplayer/live.php
Victoria Williams is great BTW.

If I knew David Wild was there I would have called in! I was watching some you tube videos of Guns N Roses jamming backstage back in the day and I swear David Wild was there. Plus, I want to know if Adam even ran into GnR or the Crue back in the day…after all, he is about their age and they were all in Hollywood at the time.

If you guys are going to have callers – CAN YOU PLEASE POT THEM UP SO WE CAN HEAR THEM!!!!!!
I am tired of turning my volume up and down and blowing out my eardrums when I have it cranked up high to hear the caller and then I hear someone in the studio talk

as a non Jew, I went to the prayer show in redondo. It was filled with Jews, and all I got was carollas goto jokes and stories. As non Jew and avid podcast listener and old love line listener who remembers the thong song being premiered on loveline, the prager carolla conversations are great, when carolla speaks.

Dude, he already got Chris Isaak, who was a spectacular guest. Who knows, there may be a number of people he has already got on the show that they simply haven’t explicitly talked about coming from his connections.

David Wild is a fantastic guest. Love his endless knowledge, quick wit and rapport with Adam. Get this guy his own weekly podcast on the Ace Network! Similar to Car Cast or Ace on the House. Would be so popular and bring a whole ‘nother fan base to the network. Keep up the great work!

Having Teresa Strasser and David Wild come on as weekly regulars is fantastic for the show – such segments were of the best aspects of the old radio show. David Wild Deep Cuts – it just needs a theme song!

Adam so if adults respond to a hit in the paycheck and not talking like your gardener, you think your kid will do better? Good luck with that. Spanking is not abuse. A boy should be a little scared of his dad.

David Wild looks like a sack of wet oatmeal in a t-shirt, and he’s about as interesting as one too. In the future, please remove him from all photos, and replace him with a jew I can tolerate looking at, like Alison. Although, I think Wild has bigger breasts.

David Wild, count me as a fan. Great story-teller. Great music insight – you directed me to Diane Birch – ironically on a Fitz Dog podcast, who I expect you’re talking about today. Always glad when you’re on. next time you’re on give love to Lyle Lovett.

Missed Alison, but the drops almost made up for her not being there.
Loved the homoerotic threat-off between Adam and Greg…I can’t remember the last time that I laughed so hard that I could not catch my breath!

I’m a fan of the podcast. The content is great but the production side of things could be a bit better, especially when it comes to audio levels… they’re all over the place. It’s very noticeable when songs are played. The levels are so low you can barely hear the song, despite Adam’s on-going “turn it up”. I know there is a fear that the songs will drown out the on-going commentary but that’s nothing to be worried about (it’s part of the learning curve). In my opinion, when Adam wants us all to listen to a song then the levels should be as loud as Bald Brian’s audio drops with a slight decrease in levels when Adam is providing commentary during the song.
When I heard the Adam “breathing incident” I knew you were playing around with compression (that will suck up sound like a shop vac if you’re not careful) but it did display that you’re at least trying to make the show sound better… and for that I thank you.

David Wild is REALLY, REALLY starting to sound like that guy in the bar who swears he has access to free football tickets to share,but…..never seems to come thru. He’s promised enough music guests for a month’s worth of shows. I guess there was Chris Isaak…..if that was D Wild’s doing, but what about Joe Walsh?

Maybe Mark McGrath can swing by and just “say” it was because of D Wild just to help his record a little, because now it’s 1 and 28.

It’s been over a month and still the biggest bust out laughing segment for me is DAG during the no swearing godaddy/ amazon ad block. I get over replaying this, I need a board certified addiction specialist to help me cope.

Adam, I think it would be great if twice a week you had a listening party segment. You pick a song twice a week by a band we should have been listening to instead of the crap pop shit we’ve all been programmed to pick out “enthusiastically” to impress some other lower common denominator music listener.

I am pissed when some rock DJ talks about “the day” and people they met when the station’s bullshit format only allows them to play that music only when the real legends of music when someone dies.

Adam’s live shows aren’t as good as the studio shows and I don’t listen to Greg’s podcast all the time but I would be first in line if they toured together, they’re goddamn hilarious- ‘helicopter my balls!’ I fell off my chair laughing.

Mr. Carolla:
-Lovin’ the David Wild music talk. Please step up the music education for us all! Tell us the music we SHOULD be listening to. Talk over the music and the musicians with your usual brand of nasally talk. Teach us what is bad and why. Do us all a favor and make it a regular segment, or better yet, make it a weekly podcast!
-Play Dawson’s music. I want to hear his story.
-DO IT!

Finally, the way a podcast should be: a couple of people just shooting the shit and not worrying about time limits or a fucking stupid interview. Easily teh best podcast in recent memory from the aceman. Ever since the format switch things have really gone downhill.

I especially hate it when they bring in really unfunny guests and Adam just mails it in. When he first started this was a past time, now it’s a job and he seems to hate it. Today reminded me of the first few months of teh podcast. Great show.

Sigh….. another Adam’s best music ever list of Hiatt, Joe Jackson, & Parker just makes me like them even less when forced to listen to them. Kind of like that dude that cranks up something you’re not into and then keeps asking for approval of their music choices.

Start of the show, prime example of a wife having already undermined dad to the point of a disobedient child in a public manner. Not too cool. A common problem these days unfortunately.
Good show. Actually helps me decompress hearing another guy being frustrated.

as mentioned many times, that homo-erotic trash talk was absolute gold. A perfect example of why podcasting is so popular -traditional tv and radio simply does not allow two extremely fnny guys carte-blanche to just sit there and be as filthy as they want. Helicopter balls!

Was listening to this episode in my car on my way to work today and was stunned to hear Adam play a Victoria Williams’ song from her Loose album. I truly thought I was one of a handful of people who owned this album and really loved it. Who knew Adam had such good taste in music?

I generally agree with many of Adams selections concerning his taste in music and what gets played on the radio and satellite radios 80s station, but every time I hear Walking on Sunshine I want to puke. That is the worst fucking 80s song EVER played on the radio or anywhere for that matter. That song is the epitome of NO taste. Everything that group ever did SUCKS!!!

If there was ever one song I wish would never get played, I wish it was that one. Its HORRIBLE
